  1. I've simplified my set up (some people would say made more complicated) by going purely analog. Therefore I have an iFi iUSB power supply and iFi Gemini USB cable that I'd like to sell as a set. They are in perfect shape. Both of these items new retail for $378. My price is $250 shipped in the continental U.S.
  2. I have an Audiophilleo 2 that I'm not using anymore. It's in great shape and comes with all the connectors. The price is $340 shipped in the continental U.S.
  3. One of my favorite soundtracks. Can't believe 23 yrs have passed.

    Yes, the DSP is disabled via the jumpers on the board. Dithering level control? I've done nothing with that. I'll have to open the beast tonight and have a look.

    Hi Alex, I'm aware of that, It appears I deleted the middle of my first paragraph when posting. I was trying to say I prefer the pcm1704's in NOS mode more than using the dac's dsp. I've been running with "oversampling 2 x only" selected in Audirvana...so 88.2kHz which has taken the playback to another level. I've also tried 96kHz to good effect. I am using the S/PDIF which explains why I can't go above 96kHz.

    Hi Alex, I was under the impression 96 was as high as I could go with the PCM1704. I don't get any sound when I go over 96, which is why I upsample to 88.2 only. Honestly, I'm quite happy listening at 44.1...the soundstage shrinks a bit but is slightly more vivid overall. My digital set up as it's currently configured: Pi Audio power conditioning --> 2010 Mac Mini / SSD / 8gb ram / Mavericks --> iFi iUSB / Gemini usb cable / Audiophileo 2 / Audio Gd Reference 7.1 Dac --> Mystere CA21 Preamplifier --> nCore monos --> Ohm Walsh 5000 speakers Later tonight I'll try scaling back on the filter max length. It's worth a try because it's the slider I explored the least.
  7. My pleasure. If you like this style of music, have a listen to his band the Tindersticks.
  8. The Clones Audio mPSU is a plug and play solution, about 500 Euros if I remember correctly. It comes with the dc cable from the power supply AND the internal cable that plugs right into the mother board (most do not). You will need to disassemble your Mini to take out the switching power supply. They have a video on youtube which demonstrates what's required...pretty straightforward.
